This provided an exceptional opportunity for discovering the value of the tests and of comparing the results of the old method with that of the new. For it now became possible to discover to what extent the girls who passed the examination were better than those who did not. Subsequently the recommendations made on the basis of the tests were observed, and only those who met the standard requirements were hired. Before a sufficiently extensive record of production was at hand, a question arose as to whether the results of the tests justified their use. This question arose because the exigencies of the war made a vast number of new workers necessary, and because this need was being aggravated by the fact that an appreciable number of applicants were being rejected because of too low a rating in the psycho logical examination.
